This photo of Bishop Auckland, abounds with many railway infrastructure items that are now a thing of the past. These include the wonderful lamp; North Eastern Region Running-in board; the all-over station trainshed; the bracketed semaphore signal and the 1st Generation Metro-Cammell DMU. We are much poorer for the lack of these wonderful items in the modern railway scene.
Progress continues on the extension of the No. 7 line to 34th Street and Eleventh Avenue in Manhattan. This photo shows construction progress as of June 2013.

Vidyasagar Setu (Bidyasagôr Setu), also known as the Second Hooghly Bridge (Dbitiyô Hugli Setu), is a toll bridge over the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India, linking the cities of Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta).
With a total length of 823 metres (2,700 ft), Vidyasagar Setu is the longest cable–stayed bridge in India and one of the longest in Asia. It was the second bridge to be built across the Hooghly River; the first, the Howrah Bridge (also known as Rabindra Setu) 3.7 kilometres (2.3 mi) to the north, was completed in 1943. Named after the educationist reformer Pandit Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, it cost ₹3.88 billion to build. The project was a joint effort between the public and private sectors, under the control of the Hooghly River Bridge Commissioners (HRBC).

Deze brug dateert uit 1936. Maar hij was eerst in gebruik als Moerdijkbrug (over het Hollandsch Diep). Toen de Moerdijkbrug in 1978 werd vervangen werd een deel van de oude brug geplaatst bij Keizersveer over de Bergse Maas.
This bridge dates from 1936. But it was first used as Moerdijk bridge (over the Dutch river 'Hollandsch Diep'). When the Moerdijk bridge was replaced in 1978 bij a new one, a part of the old bridge was placed near the village of Keizersveer over the river 'Bergse Maas'.

Photography from a flight over the North American prairies: the journey was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan into the province of Alberta. A snow-covered landscape shows an interplay of light and shadows.
Originally opened in 1898, the MBTA's Park Street Station, located under the Boston Common, had retained much of its original look and infrastructure throughout the years. The winter of 2015 crippled much of the Commonwealth, rendering the MBTA inoperable, leading to major changes and reinvestments in service not seen in the history of the "T". Years of neglect, and underfunding, had finally reared its ugly head, forcing major capital investments in the system. During December of 2019, the T shut down the red line on weekends to allow crews more work windows to complete projects in a more efficient timeframe utilizing longer work windows. As part of a tour, I donned PPE, and of course my trusted D810, and descended underground for a first hand look at the work. Part professional responsibility at the time, and part personal curiosity, I was able to soak in the sights, sounds, and smells of the crews hard at work. They hauled in tons of new ballast, rails, and ties while electrical crews overhauled overhead lights, track equipment, and a myriad of other dizzying improvements. While I am not necessarily a transit foamer, it's certainly fun to offer this firsthand perspective of what it is like to truly overhaul infrastructure. Tough, dirty, difficult, skilled work being performed in a shower of sparks and roaring of saws to ensure that those who rely on public transit can do just that: rely. Anyways, the red line is technically trains, so enjoy this little interlude from the endless Gevo parade.
This photo forms part of a timelapse video I made. I made two versions of the video.

Cleveland GCRTA utilizes a fleet of 40 year old Tokyu cars for their Red Line from the airport. Even older are the OCS poles which date back from the New York Central days when this was the path for all passenger trains in and out of the city utilizing electric traction due to the grades in and out of Tower City. While these poles will carry on, the days of the Tokyu cars are numbered as new Siemens vehicles will replace them and the Breda cars used on the Green and Blue lines.
This was taken from the Greenway trail just south of Ohio/25th St.
A freighter sits at rest just off the Port of San Francisco waiting for clearance to proceed to the Port of Oakland. The crumbling piers of the Port of San Francisco are a stark contrast to the distant cranes of the vibrant Oakland seaport. The Port of San Francisco was a busy maritime hub back in the day. But not anymore. Now Oakland reigns supreme. RIP Harry Bridges.

Astoria Park has one of the largest and most popular swimming facilities in the country, with a main pool and diving pool that meet Olympic standards, as well as a wading pool. At 330 feet in length, the main pool is the largest in New York City. Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, an avid swimmer himself, recognized the importance of aquatic recreation and launched a campaign to open eleven new pools throughout the city during the summer of 1936. The labor and construction came from the Works Progress Administration (WPA), whose administrator Harry Hopkins described the pool in Queens as, “The finest in the world.” Astoria Pool was a model for the other ten pools. It has been said that Moses intended it to be the grandest of the new pools because it had the best view of the Triborough Bridge, which was completed in the same year.
Perhaps the most exciting events in the history of Astoria Pool were the Olympic Trials for the U.S. Swim and Diving Teams. The pool’s grand opening was July 4, 1936, and it was on this day that the finals of the Olympic swim tryouts began. This remarkable contest returned to Astoria in 1964. The two fountains located on the east end of the pool (which now spray water twenty-five feet in the air) served as Olympic torches which burned throughout the events in 1936 and 1964. The diving pool has a 32-foot elevated platform, built to conform to Olympic standards.
